The thought that I may have hurt somebody that I love or that somebody I love might simply be feeling really unhappy with their life. This always keeps me up at night.

A life without free Wifi
Considering I am a writer and social media networking junkie for a number of different clients, on top of running my own profiles, I find it difficult to not be connected to the internet for more than a few hours at most!
Living in Buenos Aires poses no problem at all for this kind of life style, because in almost every single cafe in the city, a Wifi service is provided free.
However, Venezuela is a different story altogether. At present, I am back in Venezuela doing a little journalism research and access to the Internet is much more limited. There are plenty of internet spots, but NO cafes that offer Wifi. This makes working for hours and hours at a time a real drag.
I don´t like living without the Internet, without being able to log-on at 3am in the morning if the mood takes me, but the life in the north of the South American continent demands that a life less technological be lived.
Therefore.... Can I live without the internet?.... Yes..... Do I want to?..... NEVER!

- My Dream Vacation
-
The dream vacation that can never exist.
darkness will lead to the light
My dream vacation doesn´t exist.
Why?
Because it wouldn´t really be a vacation.
What I mean is that I would rather feel like I could travel everywhere and do anything I wanted to do, whenever I wanted to do it. I would like to be able to work in every country in the world and live there for a good amount of time to be able to know that place inside and out. But... at the same time... I want to build a life in just one place and make that place my home.
Therefore, my dream vacation, which is a life on the move but a life with a permanent home, doesn´t exist. Complicated, hey?!
What´s more, is that I don´t want to go on this dream vacation alone. This is perhaps THE most difficult thing of all and the main reason why my dream vacation will never come to pass. I am yet to find that someone who thinks it possible to just drop everything at the flip of a coin and move on.
Seeing the world is everything, but seeing the world alone is less than nothing. It is the road to emptiness.

- That Special Book in My Life
-
The bookshelf of a 30 year old
It´s such a classic and such an obvious choice that I almost feel ashamed for mentioning it. Then again, it´s a classic because it´s sooooo good, so maybe I shouldn´t actually care how naf it sounds.
Without further ado, the book that I could read over and over again, without every putting it down is...
"1984," by George Orwell.
Most specifically because of the chapter where Winston looks at himself in the mirror after having been tortured and kept in a tower for god knows how long and he doesn´t recognise himself. He thinks he is looking at someone else, or something else... maybe an alien. That is VERY powerful. The amount of times I have looked in the mirror and not recognised the person being reflected at me is astonishing.
Do we ever know who we really are? Or are we so good at lying to ourselves about everything, that we even think we look different to what we do?
Mr. Orwell. I salute you.
P.S. I could also read, "What Men Want," by Gerstman, Pizzo and Seldes over and over again too, but that is another story and one that I should perhaps be ashamed of admiting to!

- What I Lost and Want Back

Where did all the mirth go, Hamlet?
As Hamlet says in Act 2, Scene 2, "I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth."
I think I lost mine too somewhere along the way and the only thing that remains is an outward, audible laugh... but it isn´t real mirth.
I think I would like that back please.
